章節 350: Meeting the King

"Duke North's Mansion has not had an easy time these years, and you have just become an adult. These medical bills are a bit high for us, but you are my only child and you don't have a sister, so I can use my dowries to pay the bill, or we are going to be laughed at!" Mrs. Duke North showed a brief smile as she was speaking. She sounded a bit helpless, but also showed much hope to her son.

With fist clenched, Zheng Chenyi lay in bed without saying a word. A long while later, he said, "Thank you for your efforts, mom!" Then he closed his eyes.

Mrs. Duke North took a look at him and helped to cover him with the blanket, before walking out of the room.

Zheng Chenyi took out The Saint Divine Anecdotes, threw a look at it and then put it back under the pillow.

Gu Chaoyan had just received the news that the King was going to meet her. The news came after lunch, when she had planned to take a nap, but now, she could not do that.
